There is no-one we can't live without as an adult.
Sorry, this "can't live without you" is baloney, sappy and entirely untrue. We are born alone, we die alone and we are perfectly capable of living by ourselves if we have to.
I would hate to lose my husband, I love him more than anything in the world except my children, but I know I can live alone and I draw strength from that fact. If anything happened to him I would be extremely sad but I could get by.
We all have a story about an old person who's husband or wife dies and they can't even pay a bill or change a light bulb or boil an egg. Being overly dependent on someone else is not good for people.

Maybe the OP really means the person that you feel is right for you. The one that makes you not want to find out what it is like to live without them. Not literally that you would be incapable of being left alone. I don't believe there is anyone that we can't live without, but there may be someone out there that would make me believe that life is complete with them in my life.

I read the OPs question very literally.
I just don't think someone else makes a person complete though. A wonderful SO complements your life but completes it....?
Maybe I'm too much of a pragmatist and not very romantic.

I think you did take it too literally, something a pragmatist is wont to do
She just meant the person you don't want to be without.
Personally, if my husband goes first others will have to hold me back from jumping in the coffin with him - I do not want to be in this world without him
I'm living proof taht anyone can live without the person they can't live without. It really sucks and you lose a ton of "grief weight" but hey, you live. If I was way older though (like senior age), I'm not sure I'd want to go on if the person I coudln't live without died, or left me.
I also did not take this post LITERALLY... Of course I know that I could live without my fiance, but would I want to go on without him? Absolutely NOT!
